Fipro 80 – Fipronil 80% WG Insecticide

Broad-Spectrum Insecticide for Effective Pest Control

Fipro 80 (Fipronil 80% WG) is a broad-spectrum insecticide belonging to the phenyl pyrazole group. It provides effective contact and systemic action against important insect pests in recommended crops. Fipro 80 works on the insect nervous system and helps provide reliable and longer-lasting pest protection.

It is recommended for the management of pests such as stem borer, leaf folder, thrips, and diamondback moth in crops including rice, grapes, onion, cabbage, chilli, and cotton.

Technical Name

Fipronil 80% WG

Mode of Action

Fipronil interferes with nerve impulse transmission in insects by acting on GABA-gated and glutamate-gated chloride channels. This disrupts normal nerve signal movement, resulting in hyperexcitation of the insect nervous system and muscles, ultimately leading to effective pest control.
